Vioced the rules: SpaceX limited the use of Starlink Internet for the Armed Forces - Director

She noted that the system could not be used as weapons. "There are things we can do to limit their capabilities," she said. The publication writes that Schotwell refused to inform what measures SpaceX took. The director noted that the use of Starlink to control drones goes beyond the SpaceX agreement with the Ukrainian government.

According to her, the contract is intended for humanitarian purposes, such as providing broadband Internet access to hospitals, banks and families affected by the invasion of Russia. "We know that the military is using them (Starlink terminals, ed. ) For communication, and that's normal. But we never wanted them to use it on offensive purposes," Schotwell said.

When asked if SpaceX expected that the Ukrainian military would use Starlink on offensive purposes, Schotwell replied: "We didn't think about it. I didn't think about it. " Journalists recalled that at the end of 2022 there were problems with the use of Starlink in Ukraine. SpaceX did not explain the reasons. When Shotwell was asked if these problems were related to the introduction of "restrictions", she said she did not want to answer. "Not sure I know the answer," she said.

Earlier, Focus wrote that drones help restore damaged power grids in Ukraine. Experts launched UAVs in the Chuguev district to repair the high -voltage line and return the electricity supply to Ukrainians. It was also reported that the expert explained what other weapons were needed. Yuri Kasyanov believes that drones are not the perfect weapon, like any other. He called pneumatic mortars a good help. Also we will remind that the Ukrainian Dron Kamikadze is tested for $ 2000.
